Redoing calculations if RMP*Comp is updated
Will RMP*Comp be updated? If so, would I have to redo calculations I might already have made with an earlier version? No, you do not have to redo your work if you have already completed your consequence analyses. RMP*Comp is based on the EPA's Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance (OCA Guidance)…

Different distances to toxic endpoints with different versions of RMP*Comp
I've noticed that for certain chemicals, RMP*Comp gives substantially different distances to the toxic endpoint than previous versions. Why? In the current version of RMP*Comp, we have incorporated new chemical-specific distance tables for ammonia, chlorine, and sulfur dioxide. The generic tables are still used for other chemicals (you can see…

Distance to endpoint calculations used by RMP*Comp
Does RMP*Comp perform some math or modelling in order to arrive at an endpoint distance, or is it simply interpolating from the tables in the EPA's Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance (OCA Guidance)? RMP*Comp follows the procedures set out in the OCA Guidance . This means that for some scenarios, the…

How Can I Reduce the Time Needed to Run the Nonroad Emission Factor Post-Processing Scripts?
See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models . Very long run times are not unusual for Nonroad emission factor post-processing scripts, particularly with a large output database. To reduce script run time, we recommend doing the following: Reduce the size of your output database by choosing just the…

How will the volume of corn ethanol produced above the grandfathering threshold be treated?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . For grandfathered facilities, only the baseline volumes are exempt from the 20 percent GHG reduction requirement Thus, RINs may be generated for baseline volumes of fuel regardless of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions performance. Volumes of fuel produced above…

Do grandfathered facilities have an additional 6 months to submit their engineering reviews to EPA?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes. In the preamble to the final RFS2 regulations at 75 Fed. Regs. 14709 (March 26, 2010), EPA stated that, in an effort to reduce demand on engineering resources in the interim between promulgation of the rule and…

How long will the grandfathering provision be effective? Once a grandfathered producer registers and completes their engineering review, will their baseline volume ever need to meet the 20% GHG reduction requirement?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If a facility meets the requirements for exemption from the 20% GHG reduction requirement pursuant to 40 CFR 80.1403(c ) or (d), then the baseline volume of renewable fuel produced by that facility is exempt from the 20%…

How Do I get Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) Results for Nonroad Equipment?
See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models . CO2e is simply the combination of the pollutants that contribute to climate change adjusted using their global warming potential. This can be done manually summing the mass of the pollutants multiplied by their global warming potential factors. These are the…

How Do I Get Emission Factors or Inventory Totals for Nonroad Equipment Aggregated by the Various Categories used by MOVES?
See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models . We have included a set of post-processing scripts that take the results of a Nonroad run and generate other output options. These scripts are all available in the MOVES graphical user interface in the Post Processing pull-down menu under “Run…

How does a foreign grandfathered renewable fuel production facility processing a mixture of feedstocks with different D codes or no D codes classify its production into D code categories so RINs can be generated when the product is imported into the U.S.?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If the importer is generating the RINs, the importer must obtain all the required information for registration from the foreign producer of the renewable fuel pursuant to 80.1426(a)(2) and 80.1450. In the case of a foreign producer using…

How Can I Incorporate Local Data Into My MOVES-Nonroad Run?
See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models . We recommend not modifying the internal tables of the MOVES-Nonroad model to incorporate local data, as this can lead to unintended consequences. Instead, you can apply local activity and population data by: Executing a nonroad run in Inventory mode for…

If a facility is grandfathered, is it also exempt from the requirement that feedstocks must be renewable biomass?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Even if a facility is exempt from the 20% GHG reduction requirement, in order to generate RINs, the facility is still required to use feedstocks that meet the definition of renewable biomass. The definition of renewable fuel in…
